this is my little sister of a 17-year gap, juliana. i talked to her weeks before, telling her that i'll wake her up one early morning to take her pictures. on the day that we first arranged, my alarm clock woke me up but i said hi to gray skies and no possibility of sunrise. i went back to bed and a few minutes after, this bear went into my room and said, "c'mon, ate (tagalog for big sister)" then i said, "there's no sunlight baby. let's do it next time", then we went back to sleep cuddled up warm in soft blankie. we dreamt and a few weeks later, this happened.

There are three things that have become constant in my life so far: my love for taking photos, my penchant for traveling, and my utter need for writing. Welcome to my little notebook of dreams and daydreams.
